One of the out-patient rehab options for people in Oriental struggling with opioid dependence and addiction is called opioid maintenance therapy. Some centers and doctors are certified to administer certain meds to opioid dependent clients, many of which are opioids also and are habit forming. In low doses the client does not feel high but also doesn't have acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first med tried for this sole purpose, but there are a few more choices currently to select from.
Methadone is an opiate and can be taken at an outpatient medical center licensed to administer the drug, that is taken daily as a pill or liquid. The price of the drug is about $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opioid-based drug, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in highly structured medical centers, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and dispensed in doctor's offices. The cost monthly of buprenorphine is around $300.00 monthly for the generic of the medication. There is also a type of buprenorphine containing the drug naloxone, that is a drug which blocks the effects of opioids. An individual consuming this version of the drug, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to get high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It is also taken every day, and costs approximately $450 a month. Naltrexone is an additional med used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other medications mentioned here it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. There is an option to take this drug as a monthly injection, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents someone from experience being high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily injection costs anywhere from $1000 to $1200 /month.
